Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs).

The Hidden Winners of the Memecoin Boom: Platforms, Not Traders

The post The Hidden Winners of the Memecoin Boom: Platforms, Not Traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins The wild world of memecoins may look like a gold rush for retail investors, but new research shows the bigger payday is happening elsewhere. According to Galaxy Research, the platforms that launch, trade, and automate these tokens are quietly raking in hundreds of millions while most speculators end up holding losses. Instead of being driven by long-term communities or utility, the memecoin trade has become dominated by bots and scalpers. On Solana, where activity is most intense, the average lifespan of a trade has shrunk to under two minutes – a clear signal that automation, not human conviction, is steering the market.

Memecoins may attract new users to blockchains, but the profits largely flow to the platforms that launch and trade the tokens, according to a new report from Galaxy Research.The study released on Wednesday shows that while most traders lose money in a short-term gambling market, infrastructure providers such as launchpads, decentralized exchanges and trading bots capture millions in revenue by facilitating memecoin trading.Solana’s Pump.fun, a memecoin launchpad that debuted in early 2024, has been a major beneficiary, with tokens on the platform representing a combined $4.8 billion in fully diluted market value, as per the report. Read more
